In the Jailhouse Now

C I had a friend named Bill Campbell C He used to rob, steal, and gamble C G And on the side he begged so he mopped up G Well, I told ol' Bill he shouldn't do it G And ol' Bill said that he knew it D G So he started begging with a bucket instead of a cup Chorus 1: C He's in the jailhouse now F He's in the jailhouse now G Lord, ol' Bill flubbed his dub G When he wore a tuxedo to the country club C He's in the jailhouse now Yodel chords: FCGC Ol' Bill had a gal named Sadie And she said "Have you seen Bill lately?" Naw, I don't believe that he's about Well, ol' Sadie went down to the jail It was just to pay his bail And she whispered "Sheriff, please don't let him out!" Chorus 2: He's in the jailhouse now He's in the jailhouse now Lord, while ol' Bill's away Sadie's with the sheriff every day He's in the jailhouse now Yodel Yodel You remember the last election The prohibitionist was in action Tryin' to elect themselves a president And Bill Campbell and John Austin They rode from New Orleans to Boston And they bought them a bottle in every settlement Chorus 3: In the jailhouse now In the jailhouse now Lord, they caught 'em down by the railroad track Stealin' the train just to haul it back They're in the jailhouse now Yodel
